Réservoir d'eau potable Saint-Jean - Trois-Rivières
The City of Trois-Rivières awarded Construction Deric a major contract to renovate part of its drinking water network facilities in the west sector, totalling just over $77 million. The 70-year-old reservoir showed signs of hairline cracks and joint seepage. A crucial part of renovating the Saint-Jean reservoir was addressing the concrete degradation and the cracks that had developed over decades of use.
Additionally, Xypex Concentrate was applied as a cementitious slurry to the existing structures' surfaces to waterproof the concrete and protect it against high hydrostatic pressure and harsh environments. Xypex Modified chemically reinforces Xypex Concentrate, where two coats are required and produces a harder finish over the 4,000 m² of the concrete surface. This crystalline technology complied with potable water safety standards, a key requirement for the municipal reservoir. The successful application of Xypex Patch'n Plug, Concentrate and Modified contributed to stabilizing water pressure, preventing contamination risks, and extending the infrastructure's sustainable water services.

PRODUCTS USED
Patch'n PlugFormulated as a crystalline, fast-setting hydraulic cement compound for concrete patching and repair. It stops flowing water in seconds and is used to seal cracks, fill tie-holes and other defects in concrete.
Applied as a cementitious slurry to the surface of existing above or below-grade structures to waterproof and protect the concrete against high hydrostatic pressure and aggressive environments.
Specifically formulated for restoration of concrete damaged by microbial induced corrosion, abrasion/erosion and chemical attack.
